How Nimbus Cloak works
Sorcery · Row 1Nimbus Cloak: casting a summoner spell grants 15%–45% move speed for 2s and lets you pass through units.
- Summoner spells with longer cooldowns grant more move speed, so Flash and similar spells give the biggest burst.
- Passing through units helps you escape through minion waves or reach a target behind them.
- Useful on champions who rely on summoner spells to engage or disengage.
